Lane plan

Most Zed players will use (W)-(E)-(Q) to chip away your health and wait an opportunity to close in for a kill. Try to shield some of the damage with [W] and manage your health wisely. Close in for a kill if you managed health properly and Zed is low in health.

Lane tip from this patch's games, play aggressive
  • Stormsurge

    You complete Stormsurge at ~11 min; Zed completes Voltaic Cyclosword at ~11 min. You spike together.

  • Level 3: Zed's Living Shadow (W) is 20s, your Lunar Rush (E) is 22s, so Zed is back first. Level 6: Zed's ultimate 120s, yours 100s.

  • Ignite

    Zed takes Flash + Ignite in 90.1% of games. You take Flash + Ignite (92.2%).
